Calm before the storm

I hope you all managed to dodge some of the heavy rain, thunder and flooding over the weekend but at least Sunday was nicer and Anglesey residents even enjoyed twelve hours of sunshine!
But it all changed again today as an active trough delivered some heavy downpours to us this morning. Thankfully, the weather is improving again now with some sunshine and a few showers.
Tuesday will be breezy with sunny intervals and showers with a westerly wind making it feel cool and reaching gale force strength over the hills and mountains.
During the evening, the wind will lighten but trouble is brewing out in the Atlantic.
A deepening area of low pressure is heading our way but there is some uncertainty about the exact track it will take.
Wednesday should start off dry but turn wet during the afternoon as low pressure moves closer.
The wind and surf will be picking up as well and surf forecasters are predicting waves of up to 3 metres plus (in the open ocean) for the south and west coasts on Thusday. The surf at the beach should be around five to six feet high, according to Gull who is planning to be out surfing them, so take care if you're heading to the coast and don't paddle out if you're unsure.
Thursday will be windy with showers and strong to gale force winds as well.
Thursday's weather chart from the Met Office:
Friday should be less windy with some sunshine and a few showers.
At the moment, the bank holiday weekend looks mixed and rather cool with north-westerly winds but there will be some sunshine.
Hopefully Monday will turn out fine thanks to high pressure pushing in.
I'll keep you posted but in the meantime try to avoid the showers!
